Russia may have won the right to host the Winter Olympics in 2014, but there’s another event the country has failed to bring home for years – the Eurovision Song Contest.
Russian singers have managed to twice come second in the competition. One of the ‘silver medallists’ was pop-star Dima Bilan, who was a nose away from winning in 2006.

He will give his answer to Al Gurnov on the Spotlight programme. Submit your question to Dima via our feedback form.
